l never knew how much hymn could bring
From Heaven, until heard those children
sing;
never saw such sweet breathed gales of glee
As swept around that fruitful Christmas tree.
You who have tripped through childhood's
merry days
With passionate love protecting all your
ways.
Who did not see a Christmas-tine go by
Without some present for your sparkling eye,
Thank God. whose goodness gave such JOY its
birth.
And scattered heaven seeds in the dust O.
earth
In stone-payed ground my thorny field was
set:
I never had q Christmas present yet.
And so sat and saw them. and confess
Felt all tn unhappier for their happiness;
And when a man gets into such o state,
II e's very proud-Or very desolato.
Just then cry of"Fire" amongst us came;
The pretty Christmas tree was all ahame;
And one sweet child there in our startled gaze
Was screaming, with her white clothes all
ablnze.
The crowd seemed crazy-like. both old and
yonng.
And very swift Of speech, though slow Of
tongue.
But one know what to do, and not to say,
And ho a convict, just let loose that day.
fought like one who deals in deadly strife
| wrapped my life around that child's sweet
life
choked hcfames that choked her, with rich
cloaks,
stol'n from some good but very frightened
folks;
l gave the dear girl to her parents sight,
Unframed by anything excepting fright;
tore the blazing branches from the tree;
And all was safe, aud no one hurt bueme.
That night, of which ask ed for leep in vain--
That night. that tossed me round IN prongs
of pain.
That stabbed me With fierce tortures through
and through,
Was still the hsppiest that | ever knew.
felt that at last had earned place
| felt the glorious facts wouldn'. lot me miss
A mothers thnnks-perhaps child's sweet
kiss;
That mans warm gratitude would find plan
To lift me up. and help mo be man.
Next day they brought a letter to my bod.
opened il with tingling nerves and rend:
"Yon have upon my kindness certain claims
For rescuing my young child from the flames;
Such deeds deserve hand uostained by
crime;
| trust you will reform while yet there's time
The blackcst sinner may find mercy still.
Enclosed please find q thousand dollar bill,1
Oar paths Of course on different roads must
lie;
Don't follow me for any more. Good-by.'
| scorched the dirty rag till 1t was black;
Enclosed it in rag and sent it back.
That very night cracked a tradesman's door.
Stole with my blistered hands ten thousand
more,
Which next day took special pains to send
To my good, distant, wealthy, high-toned
friend,
And wrote upon 1t IA a steady hand,
In words hoped he wouldn't misunderstand:
Money is cheap, as l have shown you here,
But gratitude and sympathy are dear
These rags are stolen-have been-may often
be:
l trust the ono wasn't that you sent to me.
Hoping your pride and you arc reconciled-
From the black sinful rescuer Of your child"
I crept to court-a crushed. triumphant
worm
Confessed the theft, and took another term.
My.life closed, and began; and am back
Among the rogucsthat walk the broad-gauged
track.
l toll mid every sort of sin that's known:
| walk rough roGds-but do not walk ALONE.
Tough Crowd.

There was little daughter once, whose feet

Atleast she said they would MT do. and so she

She never knew the tumult rare that came

At the wee foot and the stockings different

She only knew. when morning dawn,d. that
